AN ORDINANCE TO CHANGE THE NAMES OF SINNETT AVENUE, OLD ORCHARD DRIVE AND RED BUD LANE TO MT. PARNASSUS DRIVE.

WHEREAS, approximately fifteen years ago a petition was submitted to the U.S. Postal Service by residents of Mt. Parnassus Drive requesting that Sinnett Avenue, Old Orchard Drive and Red Bud Lane all be renamed Mt. Parnassus Drive to coincide with the existing street; and,

WHEREAS, the U.S. Postal Service accepted the petition and changed its delivery routes to the single Mt. Parnassus Drive name; and,

WHEREAS, subsequently the street name signs of Sinnett Avenue, Old Orchard Drive and Red Bud Lane were all changed to Mt. Parnassus Drive; and,

WHEREAS, the Granville Village Council was never officially requested to change the street names from Sinnett Avenue, Old Orchard Drive and Red Bud Lane to Mt. Parnassus Drive; and,

WHEREAS, said street names no longer appear on the listing of official Granville street names, but do appear on both the Granville street maps and the map maintained by the Licking County Engineer, therefore creating the potential for confusion; and, WHEREAS, pursuant to provisions of Section 723.04 of the Ohio Revised Code, a petition by persons owning real estate in the immediate vicinity of Sinnett Avenue, Old Orchard Drive and Red Bud Lane in the municipal corporation has been filed with the Clerk of Council requesting that said streets be officially renamed Mt. Parnassus Drive; and,

WHEREAS, upon public hearing the Granville Village Council finds that there is good cause for such change of name, that it will not be detrimental to the general interest and that it should be made.

NOW, THEREORE, be it ordained by the Council of Granville, Ohio that:

Section I: The names of Sinnett Avenue, Old Orchard Drive and Red Bud Lane are hereby changed to Mt. Parnassus Drive. Section II: This Ordinance shall take effect and be in full force and effect upon the earliest date allowed by law.
